A short Chinese mechanism note on robot action spaces. A policy may output high-level pose targets, mid-level force/compliance commands, or low-level motor commands; the layer determines what the model learns, what the controller must guarantee, and where safety belongs.

Technical essays and research notes on AI infrastructure, agent systems, and the mechanics behind modern models.
A Chinese mechanism note on why TD-MPC does not fall inside the three action-prediction world-model paradigms: IDM-style, VLA-style, and MoT-style. The comparison turns on where action appears in the math: as the predicted object in one family, and as a condition for latent future prediction and planning in TD-MPC.
A Chinese tutorial-style breakdown of three robot world-model paradigms: Future-conditioned / IDM-style, Single-backbone / VLA-style, and Shared-attention + Specialized Experts / MoT-style. The article traces the math from conditional policies and marginalization to neural-network optimization, shared representations, experts, and the TD-MPC boundary.
A Chinese research-direction essay that reorganizes the long-horizon robot world-model question around three objects: planner, verifier, and model / backbone.
A Chinese mechanism note on the transition operator inside learned world models. VLWM changes the temporal scale of the dynamics interface; PRISM-WM changes its physical regime structure. Both pressure the same assumption: one smooth monolithic transition function can serve every planning rollout.
A bilingual paper note on GRASP. In a standard rollout, intermediate states are computed by the world model. In GRASP, they become virtual states optimized with actions and checked by dynamics consistency.
A bilingual paper note on WEAVER, a multi-view latent world model for robotic manipulation. It targets fidelity, long-horizon consistency, and efficiency at once, so one model can serve policy evaluation, policy improvement, and test-time planning on real hardware.
A bilingual paper note on WAV. Action-conditioned prediction is split into two independently verifiable factors — state plausibility and action reachability — exploiting the forward-inverse asymmetry so a world model can find its own errors and choose which interactions to collect next.
A bilingual paper note on EV-WM (long-horizon robotic manipulation). A feature-space world model is scored not by how close its predicted features land to a goal, but by a verifier that decodes each imagined future into task predicates and checks whether the event actually happened — guiding CEM planning and gating candidate actions.
A bilingual paper note on NEUBAY (offline model-based RL): it removes explicit conservatism and lets long-horizon rollouts control value overestimation. A posterior over world models decides how far to roll out, and the discount factor demotes the bootstrapped terminal value, the one term prone to overestimation.
A Chinese research map built around one closed loop — a robot choosing actions with a learned imagination model. Fifty recent (2026 H1) world-model and long-horizon papers from top labs, each placed on one of seven parts of the loop: state representation, memory, dynamics, event verification, trust horizon, planner–model coupling, and the action/evaluation/data interface.
A searchable companion to the closed-loop basemap: 142 papers grouped by the part of the long-horizon robot execution loop they modify.
An overview of the long-horizon line in one frame: six failure modes crossed against five recurring moves in a single matrix, the robot–agent isomorphism, and the open trust-horizon question. A synthesis of the rollout-drift, interfaces, and map notes below.
A Chinese research note that splits long-horizon world-model work into five system interfaces: planner usage, rollout fidelity, event memory, action hierarchy, and evaluation/data infrastructure.
A Chinese research note on how to turn long-horizon world-model claims into tasks, metrics, baselines, ablations, and a verifier-MPC experiment.
A Chinese research matrix for long-horizon robot world models and policies: rollout drift, closed-loop planning, trust horizon, event verification, temporal abstraction, and object/state persistence.
A Chinese reading-priority table for 152 long-horizon and world-model papers, scored by importance, world-model relevance, long-horizon relevance, organization signal, and source-check status.
A bilingual research map of the long-horizon problem across robot world models, robot policies, and language-model agents.
A Chinese research note on language world models, digital-agent simulators, next-observation prediction, and why a text model can still satisfy the world-model interface.
The phrase "long horizon" names a reliability problem in language-model agents and a fidelity problem in world models. A bilingual comparison across METR's time horizon, self-conditioning, MBPO compounding error, Dreamer/TD-MPC planning, and Genie-style drift.
A Chinese technical breakdown of Puppeteer, hierarchical world models, MoCap-trained motion priors, end-effector commands, and naturalness evaluation for humanoid control.
A bilingual mechanism note on diffusion as iterative denoising, score estimation, latent-space generation, guidance, video diffusion, and the connection to Cosmos Policy.
A bilingual mechanism note on latent slots, diffusion denoising, and how Cosmos Policy fine-tunes a video world model to output action, future state, and value.
A Chinese technical breakdown of PRISM-WM, TD-MPC-style latent dynamics, hybrid systems, orthogonalized MoE, and long-horizon rollout fidelity.
A Chinese paper note on TD-MPC, task-oriented latent dynamics, reconstruction quality, action quality, short-horizon planning, and terminal value estimation.
A note on KV cache, MQA/GQA, MLA, and why long-context models are becoming memory systems.
